Improving Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survival Rates—Optimization Given Constraints

Abstract: Each year, there are nearly 400 000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) events in the US. 1 The national survival to discharge rate was less than 10% in 2020, 2 and survival varies considerably between communities. 3 Survival rates from OHCA in the US are low since less than 40% receive bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and much fewer receive use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) in the field before arrival by emergency medical services (EMS). EMS response times vary enormously based o… Show more

“…After cardiac arrest, the initial survival of patients is limited by brain death and severe neurological damage, either mandatorily (in the case of brain death) or potentially (in the case of severe damage and corresponding presumed patient wish) [ 50 ]. Cognitive dysfunction, in particular memory problems, is frequent amongst survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest [ 51 ], e.g., cognitive impairment four years after cardiac arrest was present in more than one-quarter of patients [ 52 ].…”
